CURRENTS magazine is published quarterly by Mobile Baykeeper and distributed throughout Mobile and Baldwin counties. Bearheadvoce (talk) 14:23, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: In order to add it to Wikipedia, you'd need to demonstrate that the magazine is sufficiently notable to warrant inclusion. PianoDan (talk) 16:55, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Article review

It has been a while since this article has been reviewed, so I took another look and noticed lots of uncited statements, including the entire "2010 census" section. There's also some MOS:OVERSECTION in the sports section and I think some of the prose is too detailed for an article about a city (especially in the "Arts and Culture" section). Should this article go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 15:01, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
